We Care Too

We Care Too is a small senior housing community near Columbia, Maryland, about 2.8 miles outside the city, and has only five assisted living units, so it feels quieter and more personal than bigger places, and it helps residents who want some independence but need extra help with things like bathing, dressing, medication management, moving around, and other daily activities, because staff trained in compassionate caregiving stay on duty day and night with standby assistance close by, and a licensed RN oversees health matters. Residents can choose private suites, shared rooms, studios, or one-bedroom apartments, many with kitchenettes and private bathrooms, and all fully furnished, and they don't have to worry about cleaning or laundry because those services, including dry cleaning, are taken care of by staff, as is move-in coordination to help make the transition easier. There's a 24-hour call system plus 24/7 supervision and security, so someone's always close at hand if help's needed. Home care, home health, and hospice services are also available, along with support and referral services, and care plans are fitted to each person's needs, including help putting on clothes, feeding by spoon, and speech therapy when needed. We Care Too serves fresh, organic food with allergy and diabetes-friendly options, chef-prepared meals, and help during mealtimes; all meals are included, with easy-to-read menus, furnished dining room, and scheduled meal service. The community offers things like a wellness center, a greenhouse, a courtyard, transportation to doctors' appointments, massage therapy, arts and crafts studio, movie nights, social and educational activities, walking paths, gardens, and large screen TVs in the community rooms, plus cable television, internet, and telephone in suites. Air-conditioning and regular maintenance are provided, and everything's set up to be comfortable and easy. Residents don't need to take on the stress of home upkeep anymore, and they can enjoy life knowing there are community-sponsored activities or places to walk or gardens to sit in. The environment is pet-friendly, and there are a range of specialized programs, including rehabilitation and interventions suited to each resident. With certified, reasonably valued care and housekeeping and linen services in place, residents can choose how they want to live and how much support they want, because We Care Too stays focused on enhancing quality of life for older adults in Howard County who need a bit of help but still want to do as much for themselves as possible.
